6. DONATIONS FOR SCHOOL FEES
Since Tanya has been in Malawi she has met many youths in the community. Some have approached her regarding secondary school fees as secondary education is not free in Malawi, as with primary. However, it is one of the most important certificates to obtain, as even this level of education was required from the Teveta trainees.

It costs roughly £5 to send a person to secondary school here in this District for a term, which is £15 for the whole year. Factor in costs for a school uniform and shoes and that totals at around £20. So far, ABC has been approached by three youths regarding secondary education, although this number will surely rise. There are no secondary schools in the immediate area and the kids often have to find somewhere to board or stay with relatives.

Please consider donating specifically to this cause as it could help so many youths in this area. Donate securely online at http://www.justgiving.com/buildmalawi/donate with the heading, ‘FEES’ + your name, in the name box. We are able to see this information on our Justgiving account. If you can also leave your e-mail address, Tanya will write to you personally and let you know the name of the person who has benefited from your donation.
